I went there for poetry night and it was amazing! The poetry from different artists was quite entertaining, educational, and exciting! Totally recommend it you let poetry or looking for something to do on date night!
Went for my sister birthday Had a good time & Love Love Love The Shrimp Cakes & Grits
I love the fact that this restaurant specializes in organic, locally grown and vegan food. I wish it was closer to me. I would go there all the time! Lots of great options on the menu.
I just can't get enough of this place!!! My non vegan husband loves it here.. I asked him if he wanted to go to Ruth Chris for Father's Day or Busboys & Poets??? His #1 choice ( and mine... Busboys!!!!!!! I love the vibe, the food and the people.. I can't wait to return. OR, you can always build a spot in Columbia Maryland!!! Your worth the drive!!!
Excellent food and even better service from my waitress Kelsey. She was attentive, informative, and patient. Great personality, too. I enjoyed the crab & shrimp risotto balls, side Caesar salad, and the blackened salmon with mashed potatoes & collard greens. Kelsey recommended the pomegranate lemonade and it was delicious and refreshing. I'll definitely return.
Service was bad got food before drinks , took awhile for food to come, one order came at the of dinner while everyone else was finished eating. Had to eat family food not a fan of this place. Setting was nice!
Always love going to this restaurant. First time at this location. It was a beautiful day and it would have been great to dine outside, but that wasn't an option due to staff limitations. Food was excellent. Server was just average.
The staff was rude at the Emeline Michel event. Constantly blocking fans from taking pictures with her.
Had a lovely outdoor dining experience with Monet as our server. She was a pleasure and didn't miss a beat. Amazing hoagie on panini bread! Cool place I highly recommend! Thanks for a nice evening!
